I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 380 379. Long-lost Reunion

That night, Lloyd was not idle. He first prepared the official letter to be handed over to the Joy Cult tomorrow to prove his identity and purpose, and then continued to read the "e-book" given by the Sage of Knowledge.

But his "reading" behavior seemed a bit strange to Everole beside him, who just sat on the sofa in a daze.

"What's wrong with you, Xiaoyi? Are you thinking about something?"

Everole came close to Lloyd, stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of his eyes, trying to call her brother back.

"Huh? I'm fine, I'm just reading a very special book. Sister, why don't you try it too? It's quite magical."

Lloyd said, and took Everole's shaking little hand and put the crystal slice in his hand on it.

"Hey..."

Everole held the slice in both hands, tilted her head slightly, and looked confused.

"Hmm? Didn't the corresponding information appear in front of you?"

"No... This should only be visible to the extraordinary, right? I just think it's so light and fragile, so I'll give it back to you, I'm afraid it might get damaged by accident."

Everroel said, and quickly pried Lloyd's hand apart and returned the sheet to him.

It seems that the sheet has been encrypted by the saint? No one else can see it?

That's normal...

Lloyd couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He originally planned to recommend this new carrier to his sister. Isn't it more upscale and convenient than ordinary paper magazines? Wouldn't the price be several times higher? And it also eliminates the cost of printing and the pollution in the process, which is simply a win-win situation.

But I don't know if other people in the [Intellectual] Department can make this kind of "electronic book".

Lloyd continued to read the information, and Everoel didn't disturb him, but just snuggled up to him, holding a hammerhead shark puppet in her arms and flipping through her magazine in her hands.

If she saw something she liked, her bare feet would sway left and right, like two little fish swimming happily.

After swaying until her feet became cold, she said she felt cold, then changed her posture and took the initiative to put her feet into her brother's arms, looking a little cunning.

Lloyd was also at a loss for words, so he had to cover his sister's feet while looking at the information, kneading them gently to help her warm up again.

Anyway, on this issue, Lloyd felt that his sister and Hiltina presented a sharp contrast.

Maybe the saints are not afraid of cold?

He could also feel that his sister really cherished the past experience that she didn't want to recall, and always tried to relive some of the intimate actions at that time.

Maybe in my heart, there are many things, the world, the future, humans, power, knowledge, rank, and so on...

But in my sister's heart, maybe there is only me?

An inexplicable thought suddenly came to Lloyd's mind, and then he gritted his teeth.

Even for his sister, he must protect this world and deal with this crisis!

However, the more he read the information in his hand, the more frustrating it became.

The predecessors really tried all possible methods, even some whimsical ones, such as divination, and even street witchcraft, but they were still helpless against this 0-006.

They didn't even know how to disassemble it safely...

Some people even tried some crazy and almost suicidal methods, such as using inspiration and spiritual vision to forcibly spy, and then they were sent to a mental hospital in less than two seconds.

Lloyd also had to admire this man's courage and awareness. He was a "saint" used to resist mental pollution and filter taboo knowledge. God knows how dangerous things are inside. He didn't even dare to use inspiration and spiritual vision to forcibly spy.

The predecessors have gone to such lengths to study 0-006, and there are almost no options left for the future generations, so Professor Toledo would like to start with the obviously more difficult and complicated Eloro.

Although Eloro's side is obviously more difficult, at least no one has gone there, right?

I hope Professor Toledo's plan will succeed, or at least find an effective path, right?

Lloyd can only hope in an optimistic direction.

In this way, he studied the data until it was time to go to bed, and then lay down on the bed without [sneaking] into Eloro's boudoir again.

Because they can meet officially tomorrow and play with it in person, why not give her a little surprise?

……………………

Early the next morning, Eloro opened her eyes drowsily and looked up from a desk piled with various documents, books and forms.

Then she looked at the only clean and tidy area on the desk at first glance. She left it there specifically to put the letter she wrote and the small cake she prepared on it so that they would not be mixed in with the documents.

But no one had touched either the letter or the cake.

"Woo..."

Ai Luo Luo felt her nose sore for some reason, and tears began to well up uncontrollably.

She knew that her Lord Uther had not come last night...

She did not fall asleep because of his arrival, but simply because she was busy all day and all night, and fell asleep on the table because she was so tired.

If my Lord Uther had come, he would have carried me to bed gently, taken off my clothes and shoes, and gently rubbed my feet, so that I could sleep more comfortably and warmly.

But... he didn't come last night...

When I wanted to see him the most, he didn't come...

Is he also disgusted with my incompetence?

A very inferior thought popped up in Ailuo's mind.

He knew that something strange had happened to us, but I was powerless to do anything about it, and could only wait for help from others...

I'm sure no one would like a girl like me who is incompetent, stupid and crybaby, and he is the same...

He is so good-looking, there must be many other girls around him, right? I'm sure every one of them is better and prettier than me...

Ailuo was thinking about it, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He finally couldn't hold back his tears, and they poured out, just like the heavy rain that had been falling outside the window all day.

Then, she curled up in the chair again, hugged her legs tightly, and hid her cute face deeply behind her legs, as if she didn't want people to see her crying secretly.

If it were any other time, Eloro might not be so fragile, and certainly wouldn't have thought so much because Lord Uther broke his promise one night.

But today, or yesterday, the situation was a little different-

Although the Joy Cult believes in the creed of "enjoying the present and enjoying life in time", there are still some reliable people who have discovered the abnormal phenomenon that the mental pollution suffered when executing monsters has suddenly become stronger.

Many executors and executioners of the Joy Cult have been sent to mental hospitals because of this...

However, being able to discover the problem in time does not mean being able to solve the problem.

With the current strength and accumulation of the Joy Cult, there is no way to deal with this kind of thing, and the only way is to arrange those who have the strength in the cult to temporarily fill the vacancies of executioners and executors.

However, the chain reaction caused by this caused several resource points outside the city to be attacked by monsters because the garrison personnel were withdrawn, resulting in some casualties.

And some people found that it seemed that the heavy rain had some effect, which made the surrounding monsters suddenly become active, began to attack humans more frequently, and had a tendency to gather into a monster tide.

This made the already few strong people in the cult even more overwhelmed, and they had to deal with and handle the possible monster tide.

But these were not the worst. The really terrible thing was the panic that spread rapidly in the city like a plague. The whole day of rain and the whole day of dark clouds made people feel as if the end of the world was coming again.

In this place that adheres to the principle of enjoying life in the moment, people are more afraid of death.

So the whole happy city of joy suddenly became a mess...

The weather, monsters, and human hearts, three-pronged approach, only took a short day, and the whole city gradually moved towards the abyss of being out of control.

If a person loses control, they can be sent to a mental hospital or a prison cell; but if a city loses control, the consequences will be disastrous...

The Joy Cult is already short of manpower and lacks foundation. Although they have been trying hard to save the situation, they seem to be powerless. At present, they can only barely maintain it so that the city will not collapse instantly.

But this is just struggling to support it. After all, the situation has deteriorated to this point after only one day. If it is two days later...

They also tried to ask for help from other cities, but I don’t know if it was the influence of bad weather that caused them to not receive any response after a day.

Even if someone knew about it and planned to come to reinforce, it would be several days later at the earliest.

Before that, the City of Joy can only rely on itself to survive...

The above are the things piled up on Eloro’s desk. People hope that she can do something as a saint here.

But her memory is only sixteen years old. Although she knows what she should do and wants to do something, she doesn’t know what she can do?

Ailuo was already regretting her daily life of luxury and eating, drinking and having fun. If she could use the time she spent on choosing clothes, eating desserts and watching operas to study, she wouldn't be so powerless.

She was really useless, and she didn't deserve to be a saint at all...

So under the double blow of the imminent external situation and the self-denial in her heart, Ailuo broke down and her emotions collapsed.

If there was no thought in her mind reminding her to "be strong", I'm afraid even her rationality would collapse...

The pressure of this moment hit her delicate shoulders hard, which was obviously too much for her.

But even so, Ailuo did not give up completely. She was still carefully looking through every report and document, trying her best to understand the current situation and thinking hard about what she should do.

But she was alone, and no one helped her...

The Joy Cult obviously knew her weight, so they didn't dare to let her participate in decision-making. They just gave her routine notices and threw bad news on the desk in front of her.

So Ai Luoluo hoped that she could have someone by her side, even if it was just to help comfort herself.

So she took some time out of her busy schedule and left a very long letter to Lloyd, describing the crisis that Joy City was suffering at the moment, hoping to get Lloyd's help.

It was also because her mind was very confused and anxious when she wrote the letter, so that she started to talk nonsense at the end——

"If you help me save this city, it doesn't matter if you don't like me or hate me in the future!"

She even wrote such incoherent words...

But this also shows the importance of Lloyd in her heart, and she regards "not liking me" as an extremely terrible thing.

But she is still willing to pay this price and beg Lloyd for help...

It's a pity that Lloyd didn't come last night, so he couldn't see this letter either...

Suddenly, someone quickly rushed into Ai Luoluo's office without knocking on the door.

"It's not good! Lord Saint! There is a situation in several abandoned research institutes in the city. It is suspected that it is the 'Miss Xie Bei Leda' that was abandoned before but has not yet been demolished. I don't know what kind of impact they have been affected. And Get active..."

A female secretary held a page of the latest bad news in her hand and spoke in a hurry. Then she noticed that Elolo was curled up pitifully on the chair.

"I'm sorry...Lord Saint...are you...crying?"

"scare……"

Ai Luoluo came back to his senses, shook his head vigorously, wiped away his tears, and said calmly:

"No, I just slept too late last night and my eyes are very dry."

"Is that so? Then do you want to rest for a while? I can sort out the news for you first."

"No need, I'm fine, I just slept for a while."

Ai Luoluo tried his best to squeeze out a smile, stood up again, took the bad news in the secretary's hand, and read it carefully.

The secretary reminded him in a low voice:

"Please take care of yourself. If something happens to you again, our City of Joy will be in doom... Do you want me to prepare some sweets for you?"

As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently caught sight of the untouched piece of cake on the table.

"this……"

"It's okay. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. There's no need for cake. I still have some that I didn't finish yesterday. You can go and do your own business first."

Elolo sat back on the chair, holding the page in his hand high, as if reading word for word, but there were not many words on it at all, he just wanted to cover his face with the document.

The female secretary was about to leave, but suddenly there was some hesitation and struggle on her face, so she stopped and didn't dare to look back and asked:

"By the way, Lord Saint... I wonder if I can... leave for a while? I'm really worried about my children and husband..."

"Well, it's okay, you go ahead, I can take care of myself."

Eloro replied calmly.

In fact, she knew very well that once the other party left, he might not come back again, but would find a way to escape to a safe place, right?

"Sure enough...I was the only one left in the end..."

After the secretary walked away, Ai Luoluo put down the documents he held high and choked.

"Lord Uther...I really miss you..."

She continued speaking, lowering her head feebly, even the delicate top hat on her head drooped, and tears once again occupied her pretty and lovely face.

Then, she had an auditory hallucination in her ears, and the voice she had been thinking about day and night floated from behind:

"Well, I miss you too."

"Ugh... I'm sorry, I'm so useless..."

"Huh? Why do you say this suddenly? Wait! Why are you crying?"

Eloro couldn't help but froze, and turned around suddenly.

Then he saw Lord Uther, whom he had been dreaming about, walking out of a dark crack, still looking at him in surprise.

"Woo...wow!!!"

Eloro suddenly cried like a child, ran over in a few steps, ran into Lloyd's arms, and held his clothes tightly with both hands, never letting go.

Lloyd obviously still doesn't understand the dire current situation of the City of Joy, and is a little confused.

Although it’s true that we haven’t seen each other for a while, it’s not like we’re crying like this, right?

He felt that the shirt on his chest was soaked in a large area in an instant, and the warmth of tears spread through his skin into his heart, making him feel distressed.

So he hugged Eloro tightly, caressing her back, and rubbed her forehead with his cheek, trying to comfort her.

Fortunately, Ai Luoluo didn't cry for too long, her tears dried up, and her pair of heterochromatic pupils turned red. She quickly rubbed them vigorously, and then said with sobs:

"Lord Uther...there is danger...in the city...please...help me!"

"Ah? What's going on?"

Lloyd asked in surprise.

Before opening the door and coming over, he imagined the scene of his reunion with Ai Luo Luo. There were various scenarios, including crying with joy, hugging each other and kissing each other, jumping up and down, being startled, and even Ai Luo Luo was... Luo hadn't woken up yet, so he had thought about how he should wake her up.

I even went to the newsstand on the roadside, bought a love and emotion magazine, and carefully read one of the experiences -

"Grand prize for common sayings used by scumbag men. Once you learn them, you will never be deceived emotionally again."

After writing down those words, Lloyd opened the portal.

Unexpectedly, when the two met, what the 'little girlfriend' said when she opened her mouth was this...

After being hugged hard by Lloyd, Elolo was quickly 'resurrected' with full blood. He didn't care about each other at all, so he pulled him to his desk and told him about the crisis in the City of Joy.

While listening and reading all kinds of bad news, Lloyd couldn't help but feel a headache...

This Joyful Cult, no matter how new it is and how unfounded it is, is not that bad, right?

This is obviously just a not-so-serious mutation, right? It actually turned into a storm in just one day?

Your butterfly wings are a bit big...

Although the situation here is indeed more severe and complicated than other places, with weird weather and strange movements of monsters, etc., it's not that chaotic, right?

Where is your saint?

Oh yes, your saint is feeding me little cakes...

Lloyd was cursing in his heart now, and then realized a very embarrassing question.

I came here mainly for academic research...

And with my own ability, I can't handle this kind of thing at all, right?

Although there are some strong teammates around him, what can be done with only ten of them?

Are the teammates willing to get involved in this kind of trouble?

Lloyd couldn't help feeling embarrassed and frowned slightly.

Eloro, who had been looking at him longingly, also noticed the change in the expression on his face, and quickly hugged his arm and asked:

"Lord Uther? Do you have any good ideas? Or...does the Lord have any good ideas?"

Obviously, Elolo has not yet connected 'Lord Uther' with 'Lord His Holiness', and thought that Lloyd was a 'minion' sent by the Supreme Being.

Although Lloyd didn't have any good solutions to this situation, he certainly couldn't say 'no' when facing Ai Luoluo's eyes that were still flickering full of hope and expectation.

So he said seriously:

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

"Great! I knew Lord Uther would have a way!"

Eloro suddenly jumped up happily.

"However, the situation is somewhat beyond my expectations and beyond my previous preparation, so I need to leave temporarily for more than ten minutes. During this period, see if you can hand this official letter to the management of your sect."

As Lloyd said, he took out the official letter that he had prepared last night, and it was still covered with Mizkatok's wax.

Although Eloro didn't know the origin of the fire paint, he could still realize the importance of it, so he accepted the letter and asked cautiously:

"Then...Lord Uther, you will be back soon, right?"

"Definitely, don't worry, I will never abandon you no matter what."

Lloyd inadvertently used fresh words learned from magazines.

"Yeah! Then let me go and deliver this letter to you first."

Ai Luoluo nodded vigorously, and saw the small cake with a small bite left on the left, so he picked it up again, smiled sweetly, and fed it to Lloyd's mouth.

"But wait until you've finished the last bite of cake."

In line with the principle of not wasting food, Lloyd swallowed the cake in one bite, and then turned around and opened the door to return to the academy.

But Ai Luoluo grabbed his sleeve and said softly:

"Wait a minute, you got some cream on the corner of your mouth."

After saying that, he stood up on his tiptoes slightly and used his pink little tongue to clean up the cream for Lloyd.
